Cloud Deployment

What is Cloud Deployment?

Cloud deployment is the process of integrating software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) into the cloud to serve as a tool that enables users to access data. Based on organizational demands as well as user or customer needs, businesses decide which cloud deployment strategy to adopt.

How does it work?

The top cloud application development platforms that you could use include:

• Microsoft Azure
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google Cloud
• IBM Cloud, and
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

What are the 4 types of deployment cloud services?

The four types of cloud deployment services include:

1. Public cloud model
   Companies use this approach through a subscription. Companies based on subscriptions adopt this approach. Users can use the tools and services employed in this model more easily, and businesses frequently use them with minimal worry about customer privacy.

2. Private cloud model
   The cloud used by one company is referred to as a private cloud model. This type of model's software system is built on a network of firewalls that provide security. This strategy gives the company more control over the management and storage of its data.

3. Community cloud model
   This model helps many organizations by sharing materials and information that belong to one community. A community model differentiates from private models in regard to the software it uses. The data in this model can be accessed by multiple organizations that are a part of the same community.

4. Hybrid cloud model
   A hybrid cloud model combines elements of both private and public clouds into a single framework. The private model is used for work requiring more security, whilst the public model is used for operations posing smaller security threats.

What Are the Various Approaches to Cloud Deployment?

There are two approaches to cloud deployment, which include the cloud being deployed by a third party and used in the community, public or private cloud model, and the cloud being deployed by a single entity, as is used in the private cloud model.
